Radiation Is the Place to Start

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for most patients with endometrial cancer, but for patients with bulky disease centered on the cervix, radiation may be a better choice. In general, cervical cancers are considered more radiation sensitive than endometrial cancer and thus more amenable to definitive radiation therapy. However, the efficacy of radiation in cervical cancer may be more a function of the favorable anatomy of cervical cancers that makes it possible to create highly conformal dose distributions with brachytherapy.
